Sex offender

Sex offenders beware! There is no escaping mandatory annual registration. Just ask the police in Orange, who recently traveled to Cloverleaf, TX to arrest 55-year-old Howard Perkins, aka Chuck Perkins, who failed to register as a sex offender with police earlier this year.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Sex Registry division is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a registered sex offender who was not at his registered address. With the start of the new school year, it is imperative that Carl Wade Lowe is located.

According to a press release, Mr. Lowe currently has a warrant issued for him as listed below:

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has added Randy Hofstetter, 28, to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders list, and a cash reward up to $5,000 is now being offered for information leading to his capture.

Police officers in Pinehurst arrested a registered sex offender living in the city after receiving reports that the man was exposing himself to passersby outside his residence in the 600 block of 28th Street on Friday, April 11, at approximately 6:30 p.m.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
